Isa Khan tomb enclosure

Isa Khan Niyazi was a noble in the court of Sher Shah Suri. This enclosure includes his tomb and a mosque, both built during his lifetime. The octagonal tomb pre-dating Humayun's tomb by 20 years, has striking ornamentation in the form of canopies, glazed tiles, and lattice screens. Along the western side of the enclosure, the three-bay-wide mosque has a grand red sandstone central bay and striking mihrabs. Until the early 20th century, an entire village had been settled in the enclosure.
